Oct 2026 to Present

Lockheed Martin

Missiles and Fire Control Engineer

Support the production operations engineering team with day to day projects and technical tasks.

May to Aug 2026

GE Vernova

Designed and drafted load-bearing lift bracket extensions in SolidWorks and machined them in-house, validating a 200 to 300 lb load case with stress analysis and drawings built for repeat manufacturing.
Doubled CPT production throughput during a Shingijutsu kaizen event, applying lean methods to process flow and waste.
Automated a Power Query pipeline consolidating 7 continuously updating Excel sources into one live dashboard, with AI-assisted ranking to prioritize preventive maintenance through IBM Maximo across 300+ monthly work orders.
Built a Maximo PM library with frequency-based maintenance routines, new asset registrations, and formal parts quotes.
Built an SSO-secured onboarding hub for Commercial Operations from scattered SharePoint documentation, now used by 3 new commercial hires.
Presented to CDP participants and commercial leadership on using Amp to generate HTML dashboards and publish them to GitHub.

4 roles

Interfacial Transport Lab · Jun 2025 to Present

Investigate thermal performance of pulsating heat pipes, two-phase passive cooling devices that move heat out of dense, high-power electronics.
Supported CFD analysis in ANSYS of a single-loop aluminum heat pipe, comparing simulated thermal performance against experimental prototype results.
Modeled the assembly in SolidWorks, fabricated aluminum prototypes with UCF machinists, and co-authored a published research paper.
Wrote Python scripts for lab instrumentation, including Zaber stepper-motor XYZ stage control and sensor data capture.

ASME Student Design Competition · Sep 2025 to Present

Lead a 60+ member team designing and building an autonomous robot to collect, sort, and dispose of waste.
Direct CAD, prototyping, and physical testing to improve autonomous navigation, sorting accuracy, and material handling across inclines and rough terrain.
Manage design validation and deliverables, including fabrication documentation and demonstration videos, to maximize scoring under timed competition rules.

Baja SAE · Aug 2025 to Aug 2026

Machined precision drivetrain and chassis components on a CNC lathe (ProtoTRAK) and manual mill to ±0.005".
Prototyped, inspected, and documented 10+ custom components to SAE standards across endurance, acceleration, and maneuverability events.

Robotics Club of Central Florida · Aug to Dec 2025

Designed and tested mechanical systems for a lunar rover prototype with a robotic arm for object retrieval.
Built wooden test rigs for motor load testing up to 150 lb, validating structural integrity and power delivery.
Used precise CAD modeling to improve servo integration across articulated subsystems.
